This thing is still in the “I hate it” phase

I’m working on it I’ll see where it gets me #painting

2025/3/20 Edited to

... Read moreThe creative process often entails various phases, including the 'I hate it' stage where artists struggle with their output. This is a common experience in painting, as many creators feel dissatisfied with their progress. To overcome this hurdle, it's vital to reconnect with your initial inspiration and remember why you started creating in the first place. Engaging with fellow artists can also be beneficial, providing encouragement and fresh perspectives. Consider experimenting with new techniques or stepping back to reassess your work. Remember that every artist faces moments of self-doubt, and it's part of the growth process. Sharing your struggles in online forums or local art communities may also help you find solidarity and support. Ultimately, pushing through the challenges of this phase can lead to significant breakthroughs in your artistic journey. Embrace the process, and don’t hesitate to seek inspiration from various sources, whether that involves looking at masters in your field or simply taking a break to refresh your creativity.

I prayed for an opportunity like this, and when it showed up, I invested and put in the work, which wasn’t hard at all. A lot of folks told me that this opportunity was a “scam” and I should not waste my time & my money on this, but I’m really glad that I did not listen to them and I kept going
